Clones' capacity is only about 33'000. You'd be denying a lot of fans the opportunity to watch the game. CastleBravo (Meath) - Posts: 1646 - 31/07/2016 21:17:15 1893194 Link 0 |

The Dublin/Donegal game in 2014 had 81,500 in attendance. Not a chance this game should be played anywhere but Croker unless you (and Gallagher) want the best part of 40k supporters disappointed.

Heard chat it is a triple bill for Croker that day, so the teams might have less than 40,000 tickets collectively anyways. So maybe outside of Croke Park might be viable.

Really can't believe he has come out with this statement, good god he should be thinking more on how to stop the juggernaut that is dublin and their drive for 5, really wish to could keep it shut.... ben1977 (Donegal) - Posts: 364 - 31/07/2016 21:57:12 1893224 Link 1 |
Yeah wish he would concentrate on trying to play the Dubs instead of this rubbish, only good thing is if we do get beat we might get rid of RG then.

But you would be making a lot of Donegal fans happy.

Is it about the fans or fair play, or money. Everybody knows that a home venue is worth a few points

Why is this a triple header - no need to have kerry there - this could free up tickets, tickets will be issued to Kerry, even though they wont really travel cuchulainn35 (Armagh) - Posts: 1676 - 01/08/2016 09:10:40 1893334 Link 0 |
Nonsense by Gallagher. Croker is the only venue for this clash. Now if he had said to play it on a different day to the Tyrone-Mayo clash it would have made more sense. ponga (Mayo) - Posts: 650 - 01/08/2016 09:15:28 1893335 Link 0 |
With Mayo v Tyrone on the card, there's gonna be people missing out.

Sadly this is probaby an attempt at mind games by RG. Donegal have played so many times at Croke Park by now I don't think it makes any difference. The only real difference is that it is a long way to travel for the Donegal fans, same for Mayo and Tyrone. However I do expect a large turnout of Donegal fans for this game. It is going to have no bearing on the outcome.
